Follow-up Comment #1, bug #64339 (project make):
I believe that the use of PATTERN here is intended to make you understand that
it's the same matching rules as with pattern rules or other uses of patterns,
such as the patsubst function; patterns that don't contain a "%" always
require the entire word to match identically, everywhere in GNU Make.
However it's not an excuse: definitely the docs could be more clear here.
